Arsenal showed their class to come from behind and beat the league-leaders, Leicester. But, credit to Leicester for first going up 1-0, but also conceding only 1 goal with 10 men until the late winner from Welbeck. Although some of these are skewed by Simpson’s red card 54th minute, Arsenal dominated possession, maintaining almost 3/4 throughout. They also had 7 of 21 shots on target to a mere 2 of 4 from Leicester. This could easily be the win that sparks Arsenal to a fight for the title after finally bouncing back fully from a poor run of form. This come from behind thriller could have very well shifted the Gunners into a new gear as they look to over take Tottenham in 2nd, who are only ahead in goal differential. Overall good performance from Arsenal, but can they continue this form?

Player Ratings:

Cech: 7- Couldn’t do much about the penalty, made a great save on Vardy’s header

Bellerin: 6- nice cross before equalizer, but not his best performance

Mertesacker: 5- caught out often before red card, solid after

Koscielny: 5- liable for build up to Vardy’s penalty, also booked and subbed off early
